RBR/RBS50 2.1.4.10 dropping internet
Hi All,
About 2 months ago I bought the RBK53 RBR50+2 RBS50 at Costco. I had installed one RBR50+RBS50 at my parents with great results. In this setup I have the RBR50 in the basment where th...
Thanks for the tips. Failures take several days so troubleshooting has been slow going. So far I have:
1. Moved satellites within 30 ft
2. Replaced cablemodem with a model not known to be problematic
3. Turned off Daisy-Chain, MU-MIMO, BEAMFORMING and Fast Roaming (the last 3 of these were already off)

See my post above about Sonos, follow those instructions and make sure you wire only one Sonos device, no more. As an alternative setup, you could remove the bridge, wire NONE of your Sonos devices, and connect them via WiFi. (I use a bridge with no issues, and prefer this setup.)
You should download the new 2.1.4.16 firmware and update to that also.
If you still have trouble after that, I would put the edgerouter back into service and run Orbi in AP mode. That's how I run mine and I've never had any issues.
